#!/bin/csh # # postresults - Steve McClure (ionica@empire.cx), 1998 # Do an automated post to rec.games.empire of a game's power chart # and the last day's annoucements. # # To use, you need to create a visitor country in your game. For example, # use "News" and "reporter" for the country name/rep of a special country # used to get the power chart and annos. # # Also, this file references a "visitor" account. If you don't have one, # you may want to take that line out. # # Note that this uses 'inews' to post. It's also very crude. But, it # works great when used from a cronjob. # # You will also want to change the messages below to more accurately # reflect your game. # # Note this is the same script I used to post results for the Winterfest # '98 Tourney. I'm submitting it to wolfpack for inclusion with the # server. # Change the following variables depending on where your binaries/game # is located setenv INEWS /usr/local/news/inews setenv TMPDIR /empire/ionica/Tourney setenv TMPFILE rd3game1.txt setenv CLIENT /usr/local/bin/empire setenv EMPIREHOST 149.84.128.9 setenv EMPIREPORT 6641 setenv EMPCOUNTRY News setenv EMPREP reporter setenv EMPTITLE "Winterfest '98 Tourney Round 3, Game #1" setenv DEITYMAIL ionica@empire.net # cd $TMPDIR echo '' > $TMPFILE echo "This is the daily power chart and announcements for the" >> $TMPFILE echo $EMPTITLE >> $TMPFILE echo '' >> $TMPFILE echo "This is the Final Round of the Winterfest '98 Tourney\!" >> $TMPFILE echo '' >> $TMPFILE echo "This game has a visitor account (Country 'visitor' Representative 'visitor')" >> $TMPFILE echo "and can be found at host '$EMPIREHOST' and port '$EMPIREPORT'." >> $TMPFILE echo '' >> $TMPFILE echo "For more questions about this game, send e-mail to '$DEITYMAIL'" >> $TMPFILE echo '' >> $TMPFILE echo '------' >> $TMPFILE echo '' >> $TMPFILE $CLIENT $EMPCOUNTRY $EMPREP << EOF pow new >> $TMPFILE EOF echo '' >> $TMPFILE echo '------' >> $TMPFILE echo '' >> $TMPFILE $CLIENT $EMPCOUNTRY $EMPREP << EOF wire 1 >> $TMPFILE EOF echo '' >> $TMPFILE echo '------' >> $TMPFILE echo '' >> $TMPFILE $INEWS -t "$EMPTITLE" -n "rec.games.empire" -r "$DEITYMAIL" "$TMPFILE"
